I'm so jealous
I live in norway, and there's no hurricanes here!
well, it fell 20 cm of snow last night, but school's still open...
Don't you americans have snowdays as well?

Hurricanes are nothing to be jealous of. They make a mess of everything and the power could go out for days and maybe a week or longer. The coastal waters up near Norway arent warm enough to support storms like hurricanes. You should be thankful

Getting out of school or work is one thing, but when you cant go outside and you have no power it pretty much sucks. And yes we have snowdays here too.

I was unable to make it into work due to the storm, but I feel bad for the girl covering the switchboard. And my only possible ride is my boyfriend and he is stuck at work so he was unable to pick me up. And I could not get even one cab to even look my way. It would have been too dangerous for him to drive anyway. But I will try to make it in as early as possible tomorrow. I felt guilty staying home while so many of my coworkers are stuck at the facility. But the mayor said if you are a nonessential worker to stay in. I am currently an operator. They already had a few people there who know how to use the switch board, and to be honest my job is easy. Almost anyone could replace me. The hardest part is dealing with peoples attitudes.
